New task

Having failed miserably on my task set at the beginning of this blog I thought it was time to rethink and set smaller monthly tasks for myself.

So my January task is to cook one recipe from each of the fabulous books I was given for Christmas, which as you can see from the photo is a fair number!

I was given the following books for Christmas:
The Vintage Tea Party book
Cox Cookies & Cakes
Green & Blacks Ultimate Chocolate collection
Doughnuts (and a doughnut maker)
1001 Cupcakes, Cookies and other temptations
The Hummingbird Bakery Cupcake & Muffins
Life is Sweet
And Dress Your own Gingerbread (that I did already own, sorry Mum)

Phew that is a lot of books - so that means I have to make a grand total of eight new things in the 26 days left in January which does sound easy, but once I factor in my full time job plus my one year old and life in general I think it is a tough challenge.

If anyone has any suggestions of any favourite recipes from any of these books do let me know. All that is left for me to do is choose the recipes I am going to make, which could take all of January!
